Filming has begun for Us, BBC One’s four-part drama adapted by David Nicholls from his hugely popular novel of the same name.
Tom Hollander (Baptiste, The Night Manager) will be joined by Saskia Reeves (Luther, Shetland), Sofie Gråbøl (The Killing, Fortitude), Tom Taylor (Doctor Foster, The Dark Tower), Iain De Caestecker (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, The Fades) and Thaddea Graham (Curfew, The Letter for the King), with casting by Sarah Crowe. It is produced by Drama Republic and Bandstand Productions.
Douglas Petersen (Tom Hollander) is blindsided when his wife Connie (Saskia Reeves) tells him that she’s not sure she wants to be married to him anymore. Agreeing to still go on their planned family grand tour of Europe, Douglas vows to win back the love of his wife and repair his troubled relationship with their son Albie (Tom Taylor).
Reflecting David Nicholls' signature mix of humour and heartbreak, Us brings the Petersens' poignant and often hilarious story to life, taking viewers with them on their once-in-a-lifetime journey through some of the most beautiful cities in the world.
David Nicholls says: “It’s a huge thrill to see the novel come to life, and with such a wonderful cast and production team. We want to make something funny, touching and beautiful, to really explore marriage and family life, all against this incredible backdrop.”
Tom Hollander and Hannah Pescod say: “We are delighted to be working with Drama Republic and the great David Nicholls in bringing his beautiful novel to BBC One. The trials of the Petersens will strike a chord with many - a family tale for our times.”
Piers Wenger, Controller of BBC Drama, says: “We feel so honoured to be bringing David’s beautiful novel to BBC One and to have the brilliant Tom Hollander and Saskia Reeves playing the leading roles. We are thrilled to work with David and Drama Republic once again and also with Bandstand Productions on their debut drama for the BBC.”
Greg Brenman and Roanna Benn, Executive Producers for Drama Republic, say: “David Nicholls is a unique and rare talent who miraculously manages to intertwine profound emotion with full-on humour. This glorious adaptation has attracted an exceptional cast in Tom Hollander, Saskia Reeves and Sofie Gråbøl. We couldn’t be more excited to begin filming.”
Us is executive produced by Greg Brenman and Roanna Benn for Drama Republic, Tom Hollander and Hannah Pescod for Bandstand Productions, Jo McClellan for BBC One and David Nicholls. It is directed by Lisa Siwe (Temple, Modus) and distributed internationally by BBC Studios. Filming will take place in London, Amsterdam, Venice, Barcelona and Paris.
唯一的疑惑是，看习惯了名著的人是看不下去成功学的，无论自己多想暴富都是看不下去的，文青即使过得落魄也是放不下身段去看这种东西的
整体观感要弱于同卡司的《短剧开始》，后半部分过于啰嗦跟自说自话了，尤其是畅饮店分手的戏，又是日剧那套无限傻闪回。只能说，坂元裕二，考利斯马基你算是白看了。
“臭味相投”形恋爱，从满脸姨母笑看到满面都是泪，她天真烂漫的生活，他努力拼搏的生存，谁又有错呢，原来知根知底的两个人，如果步调错了真的很难挽回。
能让人看下去看进去的爱情电影，真的比较难得了。虽然实在是老套俗套，而且文艺青年也不用这样吧。不过，有一说一，日本的文青真的很爱本国的文化产业，讨论作者都是日本人呢，没提起什么欧美文学大家，所以恋爱谈成这样，深度是不够的。
最后他们还是分手了
idk…感觉男女主从最开始相遇到后面分手也没有真正的交流过。像报菜名一样罗列共同的兴趣爱好和经历，就可以作为陷入爱河的条件了吗？看完觉得很虚浮，也没有办法为这种不真挚的爱感动
文青一进入职场就不再是文青了
实现梦想很幸福啊，但是做一条没有梦想的咸鱼也很快乐。很符合我曾经给自己的个签→普普通通，平平淡淡，就那么过完自己的一生。可是我一直没做到啊。
一、现在电影灌人生理想的鸡汤是否就只能想到搞音乐？搞音乐就只能想到爵士乐？是的说的就是你们，寻梦环游记、爱乐之城，三个我都一毛钱没被感动到。我已经厌倦了「音乐理想=浪漫情怀」（反之初等教育/金融=庸碌无为/丢失灵魂）的东方主义式想象，事实是搞音乐首先必须有高天赋，其次是极其、极其艰苦的练习，是PRACTICE，不是说漂亮话。
最后他们还是俗不可耐地被“现实”打败了
1，值得那些只会拿绝症和死亡来妄图打动人的编剧学习。2，恋爱和生活是两回事——again 说无数次了。3，想起了好几个小组贴和广播，大意是想起一年or两年前每天写文描述爱得热火朝天的，再去看，99%的已经分了。
如果女孩告诉男孩花的名字，男孩这辈子一旦看到那种花，就会想起那个女孩。最后家庭餐馆那场戏，还是绷不住哭了。明明白白的把电影当剧拍，但电影可以打星星，对自己曾经的生活，要怎么评价呢？不问花名。也不说花名。
不由得想到穆旦这句诗，“相同和相同溶为怠倦,在差别间又凝固着陌生。”
去年《正常人》的余震还在，差不多整整一年。

也算是个纽约故事吧，比起《头脑特工队》要陈旧空洞得多。
挺不错，非常真实。感不动也哭不起来的朋友们，没别的，大家就是单纯老了……
我分析了一下。之所以那么多青少年会被爱情吸引，是因为他们从小从没尝试过极度美妙之物，于是他们就会自然地把人生刚开始接触到的那几件美妙事物视为人生终极幸福，有的是爱情，有的是艺术，有的是二次元，有的是游戏，音乐等等。那么最大的问题是，当他们以为这些东西是生命的唯一真谛，极力追求，自然就会动不动就竭斯底里，犯上青少年那些愤世嫉俗的毛病。因为一件东西你越想要，是越得不到的。人生从来就不存在得到幻想这种事情。所有的美好几乎都是人在大脑中想象的。把想象变为现实是一种注定要失败的行为。
婚姻制度从诞生的那天起，就和爱情没有必然关系，然而，不知为什么，大部分人却总希望本来纯粹的爱情，会通向各种芜杂的婚姻。恋爱的起点越高，达成婚姻的可能就越低，因为彼此都知道过感受过爱情毫无杂质的样子。如果有一天结婚，大抵不是因为爱，而是真的彻底放低了期待值，妥协、后退、无所谓。soulmate还是留在心灵的世界中吧，隔几年相见，荡气回肠一次，就像充电站，然后重新回归无聊的现实生活。真正的恋爱是不堪奔现的，不要撕破爱情最后的体面和念想……
人们总是迷信那个「真实」的自我，并与「社会的毒打」对立起来。所以才有对所谓「真爱」的痴迷追求。但其实每个人都是在变的，追求的只是和这个世界尽可能和平相处的方式。不管是换个方式继续相处下去也好，分手也好，也都没有什么值得惋惜的。（另：日本人的情感表达实在太微妙了，每看一部日系电影都会发此感慨，这部也一样）
